Description
A fresh take on Artichoke Salad will be the highlight of your meal when you make this favorite Mediterranean-inspired artichokes recipe for your family or friends.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large fresh artichoke hearts (see instructions above), 4 large frozen artichoke bottoms or canned artichoke bottoms
- 1 large lemon, cut in half ( if using fresh artichokes)
- 10 olive oil-cured black olives, pitted and cut in half
- 5 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 5-6 chives chopped
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- As you peel the artichokes, place each heart in a large bowl with water and lemon halves (squeeze the lemon juice into the bowl). See images and instructions above on how to peel artichokes. Skip this step if using frozen or canned artichoke bottoms.
- Once the artichokes are clean and ready, you have two options, you can make the salad with raw artichokes or you can saute them lightly with a little olive oil for 5-7 minutes or until golden. In either case, cut them into thin slices.
- Place the artichokes at the bottom of a large plate. Top with olives and sun-dried tomatoes and chives.
- Season with salt and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Toss gently.
